You've got the "shut down computer after scan" tickbox ticked??

I was going to say that... B-)

It's not ticked and never has been.

Even if the box isn't ticked it's not unknown for these things to lie or
pick up a setting buried 6 applications, 4 menus and 3 dialogue boxes
away from the application that you think you are using.

Oh dear.

Find the setting change *and* save it *and* close the application. Don't
just toggle the setting without saving or not quit the applcation.
Restart the machine, check the setting, change it back, save, close the
application restart again check the setting...

I'll give that a try. It's not the main problem, though.
